Project 1999 - Legit PVE Classic Progression Release Date

[Joebrew]

Do certain races get exp penalties like old times, example being half-elfs being slow levelers? Awesome work by the way and I cant wait to play.

[Tantalar]

yes lol half elf ranger, troll sk... they will be brutally hard to level up.

[Morgo]

Good. I'm glad things will be as difficult, or "classic" as they once were. No 2x exp, no porters or soulbinders indeed. If you really want these things, go play somewhere else - there's lots of servers with custom rulesets.

Hopefully the need to 2box never arises...

Yes, racial and class based experience penalties will be in place (as far as I know). Personally, I have argued against keeping class based penalties but for keeping racial penalties, but I haven't heard any change in policy yet.

If I remember correctly, half elves have no inherent penalty or bonus. Halflings get a small bonus, ogres trolls and iksar get a large penalty.

As far as penalties are concerned, I responded in the other thread but not this one.

Here's a copy of the information

29 //experience modifiers based on race and class, used if USE_RACE_CLASS_XP_MODS is defined
   30 //                            hum     bar     eru     elf     hie     def     hef     dwa     tro     ogr     hal    gno     iks,    vah     frog
   31 float  race_modifiers[15] = { 100.0f, 105.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 120.0f, 115.0f, 95.0f, 100.0f, 120.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f}; // Quagmire - Guessed on iks and vah
   32 
   33 //                            war   cle    pal    ran    shd    dru    mnk    brd    rog    shm    nec    wiz    mag    enc    bst    bes
   34 float class_modifiers[16] = { 9.0f, 10.0f, 14.0f, 14.0f, 14.0f, 10.0f, 12.0f, 14.0f, 9.05f, 10.0f, 11.0f, 11.0f, 11.0f, 11.0f, 10.0f, 10.0f};

legend: if smaller numbers are faster exp, then halfling warrior is fastest!

You guys have been putting about a years worth of work into this server i really hope it turns out amazing i myself beta tested a little and it was fun i cannot wait until the real release

[Fridgecritter]

Well, you have sparked my interest again for EQ. I will be taking a look at this one, and tooling around on it. See you in game.

[cassarubi]

Sounds like the best server ever, doing things right the first time. Everyone ought to be there!

[SilentCurse]

Yes I do hope that you guys still try to keep a sense of balance, even though you want it to be 'classic'. Don't think 'classic' was the end all/be all of Everquest - the game is far from perfect, just don't let the quest for 100% classic destroy the fun for certain players.

edit: *cough* bards/rangers

[Tantalar]

Allright, it's official I am making a ranger

[eq4me]

Is the server compatible with the SoF client? It seems I have mislaid my Titanium CDs. ;-/

[avakai]

I will have to try this server out.

I was wondering why it seemed so much easier to level on all the other servers. I had just attributed it to actually knowing how to play the game instead of the exp modifier being up.

Well since we are limited to one account I know what classes I'm choosing from. (not a complaint in anyway) Halfling Druid or Dark Elf Necro for life baby!!!!

Unfortunately, I've changed my mind on what class I'm going to be dozens of times already. I'm thinking Dark Elf Mage.

[Kithyen]

Meh, I'll give it a try when it's a bit more stable. It's hard to get into and when I do I get booted everytime I zone.

Total shock 100+ online more couldn't even get on due to ISP limitations It might level out after a few days but all and all an awesome and highly successful launch. I really like the no multi-box rule makes people interact. It was almost like the first days of EQ live.
